Abstract: A longitudinal conveying system (10) for mechanically feeding one or more workpieces (12) to a predetermined loading position, comprising a pair of spaced, parallel longitudinal workpiece supports (15), with each such supports including an upper support face and having a distal end and a proximal end. A loading position (13) is located adjacent the proximal end of the workpiece supports (15), and a longitudinal conveying beam (20) is moveably located intermediate the workpiece supports (15). The conveying beam (20) has an upper surface (21) for supporting one or more workpieces (12). Driving means (36, 45) for moving the conveying beam (20) in an upward direction, a forward conveying direction toward the proximal end, a downward direction, and a backward direction is provided for enabling the conveying beam (20) to lift workpieces (12) from the workpiece supports (15) for movement toward the proximal end. The downward movement is substantially vertical, and the upper surface of the conveying beam (20) is lowered below the upper workpiece support faces prior to the backward movement.

Abstract: Method for installing, by double-winding, a cable or the like on the outer surface of a reel or of a winch drum, with a view to permitting the simultaneous unwinding of the two strands of this wound assembly in two different directions, in particular directions opposite to each other. According to the invention, this method is characterised in that it consists, starting from a cable (14) previously continuously wound in a conventional manner on a first reel (10), in unreeling this cable in order to wind it partially onto a second reel (16) whose axis (16a) is parallel to that (10a) of the first until two specified cable lengths are distributed over the two reels, in disposing the axes of the two reels substantially in the extension of each other and causing them each to pivot respectively by 90 DEG , then forming a loop (17) with the portion of the cable portion disposed between the two reels, in fixing the midpoint (18) of this loop in the central portion of a third reel (19) which is disposed with its axis (19a) parallel to the common direction of the axes of the first two reels and in simultaneously winding the two strands (25 and 26) of the cable of the two sides of the loop onto the third reel, thereby unreeling together the first and second reels. The invention also relates to a device for implementing the method. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A take-apart tire and wheel assembly including a multi-piece wheel rim (10) having axially spaced bead flanges (20,70), a rim base (18), and a pneumatic tubeless tire (12), preferably adapted to removably receive in its tire inflation chamber (80) a safety runflat insert (90). The wheel assembly also includes a safety vent for preventing inflation of the tire cavity in the event of improper assembly or disassembly of the safety tire and wheel assembly, including an O-ring seal (76) disposed between opposing portions of rim segments of the wheel assembly, and mounting studs (40) and associated nuts (78) that releasably clamp the rim segments (16,50) together with the O-ring (76) captured in compression therebetween. The outboard wheel rim segment includes a wheel mounting disc (50) and also a safety inflation valve coupling (100) fixed to the outboard rim segment (70). An interior air passage (110) of the coupling (100) communicates with the tire cavity (80) and has a maximum cross sectional dimension less than the minimum exterior cross sectional dimension of an air inflation valve provided on an inner tube of sufficient size to fit within said tire cavity (80) and capable when inflated of rendering said wheel and tire assembly normally operable for supporting its normal vehicle load in a run-mode of the vehicle. The safety inflation valve coupling (100) is thus operable to prevent insertion of such an inner tube valve through the interior air passage (110) of the wheel safety inflation valve coupling (100).

Title: Photographic processing.
Inventor: RIDER CHRISTOPHER BARRIE C O K
IPC: G03D3/06
Filed: 1990-02-01
Abstract: In known photographic processing apparatus, quality of the photographs produced can be adversely affected by drift in the paper processor of the apparatus. One cause of drift is incorrect replenishment of the chemicals used in the paper processor. In processing apparatus which utilise only small volumes of chemicals, drift can be caused by replenishment rates not matching the dye formed on the prints being processed, and an operator would need to take steps to adjust the processor. Described herein is an improved method of controlling the replenishment rate of chemicals in photographic processing apparatus. The method comprises deriving a control signal from the image to be exposed on to photographic material and using the derived signal to control the replenishment rate of the chemicals.

Abstract: Lors de la production de butane-1,4-diol à partir d'un substrat tel que l'anhydre de l'acide maléique au moyen d'un procédé qui entraîne l'hydrogénation de maléate diéthylique, on produit deux jets d'éthanol. Le premier est un jet d'éthanol relativement humide recueilli après le stade d'estérification, où un anhydre de l'acide maléique caractéristique est mis en réaction avec un excès d'éthanol pour former, tout d'abord un maléate monoéthylique, puis un maléate diéthylique. Le deuxième est un jet d'éthanol relativement sec contenant du n-butanol et récupéré à partir du mélange du produit d'hydrogénation après séparation du tétrahydrofurane. En distillant les deux jets d'éthanol dans la même colonne, on obtient une diminution sensible de l'apport de chaleur nécessaire pour recueillir un jet à relativement faible teneur en eau et contenant de l'éthanol pour être recyclé en vue de l'estérification, par comparaison avec une installation où les deux jets d'éthanol sont distillés dans deux colonnes distinctes. L'emploi d'une seule colonne au lieu de deux représente aussi un gain dans le coût de construction de l'installation.

Abstract: A technique for improving the tarnish and oxidation resistance of copper and copper based alloy materials is disclosed. Copper or a copper alloy (12) is immersed in an aqueous solution (16) containing sodium hydroxide, zinc ions and chromium (VI) ions. While the compositional ranges may vary, the concentration of either zinc ions or chromium (VI) ions, or both, is less than 1.0 gm/l. A chromium-zinc coating is electrolytically applied. The coating provides tarnish resistance at temperatures in excess of 190  DEG C. The coating is removable by immersion in sulfuric acid. Improved results are obtained by rinsing deionized water containing a small amount of an alkaline or alkaline earth hydroxide.
